It's hardly bizarre to expect someone renowned in the humanities to have, well, humanity, but it's not necessarily a package deal.

I’m old enough to remember “save the whales” from the 80s, now they’re regularly hanging out just offshore on Long Island. Water quality has improved, depleted fish stocks have rebounded, and “save the whales” was mostly successful, so they’re back.

No one entertains their op-ed writers enough. A healthy op-ed writer should be getting 2-3 hours of exercise a day chasing fantasies or contorting themself into pretzels. If nothing else throw some bizarre hypotheticals at them.

Sometimes I find myself in interactions that are so simple, sincere, and direct that I wonder if I'm unknowingly taking part in an ESL skit.

When we’re all in our 90s, the youth are going to wonder why, whenever we hear someone refer to the number sixty nine, we all bow our heads and whisper “nice” - as if moved by religious fervor

One day someone's going to make an equivalent to SUPERSIZE ME where they try to live off health/dietary advice from YouTube ads—if that's survivable, which I suspect it isn't.

What's your favorite bit of 2010s slang? I'm going to go with "yeet." It fits what it's describing so well—much better than "chuck" or "hurl."

I wish I could give myself more room to be a bad artist. Paradoxically, my vanity and my history of being an overpraised child get in the way. Dear hands/vocal cords: Don't you know who I am? How dare you let me down like this!

This would have helped me in my early 20s. It was actually a dumb oversight on my part for a very minor illness, but it was a black mark on my report for years that kept me from a variety of opportunities.

Today a neighbor asked my 9-yr-old if she has heard the “new” Taylor Swift album, “Tortured Poets Society.” 9-yr-old rolled her eyes, responded “it’s the Tortured Poets Department,” turned, and walked away.

the fun thing about algorithms is that when you buy a sloth mug for that one person in your life who really likes sloths all of a sudden it decides that what you really want to do is keep buying sloth mugs and by golly it will keep following you with ads about sloth mugs until you do it

Folks, it's 91 democracies to 88 autocracies, not the other way around. The percentage figures for now and 2003 are correct. www.v-dem.net
